The authors of this book, Bruce Williams and Ben Wilson, are the creators of Absinthe, a GraphQL toolkit for the functional programming language Elixir. The book shows how to build your own flexible, high-performance APIs, and along the way demonstrates how Elixir makes all the difference for a high performance, fault-tolerant API. Find out how to offer a more tailored, cohesive experience to your users, aggregate data from different data sources, and improve your back end's maintainability with Absinthe's declarative approach to defining how your API works.
